    You goof balls are the ones claiming masks work—yet they don’t seem to be working in CA. Try and kick Trump out of your head for one minute so you can actually think.
    Once again, you have no idea what impact mask wearing has as it is one of multiple variables. But I already know that you aren't skeptical, you are just to small a man to admit your error, and you will do anything in service of your Dear Leader. Give it up.

    Sorry, I don't like Cuomo. I also don't like Newsome. But Desantis and Kemp are worse, and you fucking know it.

    The ‘too many variables’ is my argument lol.

    Do you have any other unfalsifiable notions you’d like to entertain us with?

    All I know about you is you are a partisan hack and you have some sort of satanic looking thing for an avatar.

    Nice try. The efficacy of masks is easily falsifiable. But not with your argument. You might want to buy 'The Scientific Method for Dummies'. You clearly need it.

    But you just said there were too many variables to pin point whether masks are a factor or not lol. When are there few enough variables to make the determination?

    No matter what measures are taken, mother nature WILL run her course. No matter what anybody on either side of the aisle does, says, or believes, mother nature will have her way. We have been fighting the coronavirus since the 1960s, but lefties figured out how to leverage mother nature's curse for political gain.

    I'm a revolutionary socialist, I vote, and I am active in converting people to my cause. I am the far left. Joe Biden is not.

    I am who you fear, and I love that you fear me.

    You should.

    Because I want to see the constitution rewritten. I want to see you lot thrown out of power, sundered in ashes, and left to see the wreckage you caused on the citizenry.

    You may be a commie, but at least you are honest about it.

    ____________

    Per usual, the cases aren’t categorized and are all glommed together in one big number so it’s hard to know what exactly to make of it, but that’s beside the point.

    CA guidelines mandated masks a month ago. And here there are setting a daily record at 11,000 cases [again, the raw numbers don’t tell us anything regarding clinical cases vs positive tests, but bear with me] so what gives?

    Do masks work ‘just a bit’? I was under the impression that if we social distanced and masked, that the numbers would come down, we could open the economy up get things rocking again [well, maybe not too early, since the election isn’t till November].

    Maybe someone can explain what’s going on in CA. I have my own ideas but they can wait.
    Yep. They're glommed together. Gotta keep the panic going and it's easier to do that by including all
    suspected, probable and confirmed (by lab results) together into one big inflated grand total.
    There would be a huge difference if we had continued reporting the same as the ECDC has.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    You really are a dunce, aren't you? Yes, attempting to conclude mask efficacy by using the number of new cases as a metric is a complete fail. There are too many other variables to draw any conclusions. Any scientist would laugh at you. You know, like I just did. Good grief, do you know anything?
